A Race for life


I thought I should share a funny incident with you. Now! so the police don't arrest me I must change the names of the roads so they do not coming looking to capture me and put me in Jail.
The night before my double mastectomy I was in a bit of a nervous frenzy, well almost like I had nothing to loose. I started up a big major road (wink wink) name to be excluded, it was 9pm.
I was in my car, I think I should keep that a secret as well if you get my drift. Then a yellow Commodore seemed to be playing tag with me in the fact that I go fast he would go faster,  I slow down he slowed down.
Then I though by the time I was on the freeway (secret) maybe he wanted a race. Then I thought, bring it on I have nothing to loose. We raced for about half an hour at 180 km neither of us would go faster than that. He was using his breaks for bends, me I had nothing to loose and I had no fear at all.
Well it's naughty to speed, I know I did the wrong thing. But as I slammed my foot on the break to go home and wave him off at my exit. I began to laugh, it was one of those moments! " I can win this" as I had just shown the stranger in my car. Just drive fast through it. It inspired me in my Cancer battle to put my foot down and give it all I had..Thank you Mr Stranger

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Mastectomy Drain Breast Cancer Treatment

The  purpose of drains after mastectomy  is to drain away the fluid that can gather in the armpit region or around the scar on the chest wall. Some people after mastectomy also find that fluid gathers around the shoulder blade area on their back - this seems more common if the muscle from the back has been used for  breast reconstruction  at the time the mastectomy was done. When mastectomy is done - and especially if the lymph nodes are removed from the axilla or armpit - then there is a lot of tissue fluid and lymph fluid left with no where to go. This fluid normally flows through the lymph channels but if they are cut then it can escape into the normal skin and muscle tissues. Your surgeon will place drains under your skin after mastectomy. These drains gather up the fluid and remove it to a bottle (or bottles) that you carry around with you. Some people use a  belt clip to attach the drain  to their waistband - making them more mobile. Others car...

Pancreatic Cancer breakthrough

Published Today By  Ana Sandoiu Fact checked  by Jasmin Collier New research now published in the  Journal of Natural Products  shows that a vine compound is highly effective in the fight against treatment-resistant pancreatic cancer cells. #cancer #cells #pancreaticcancer #breakthrough #natural #journalofnaruralproducts #cure #survivor #iamstillawoman #Anasandiou #jasmincollier A type of rainforest vine may hold the key to effective cancer treatments.  Pancreatic cancer  is notoriously difficult to treat, and the condition has a poor outlook. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), the 5-year survival rate for people with early-stage exocrine pancreatic cancer is  12–14 percent . A  new study  explains why that is and offers a potential solution.
